Modelling linguistic vagueness and uncertainty in historical texts
Many applications in Digital Humanities (DH) rely on annotations of the raw material. These annotations (inferred automatically or done manually) assume that labelled facts are either true or false, thus all inferences started on such annotations us boolean logic. This contradicts hermeneutic principles used by humanites in which most part of the knowledge has a degree of truth which varies depending on the experience and the world knowledge of the interpreter. In this paper we will show how uncertainty and vagueness, two main features of any historical text can be encoded in annotations and thus be considered by DH applications.

On modeling vagueness and uncertainty in data-to-text systems through fuzzy sets
Vagueness and uncertainty management is counted among one of the challenges that remain unresolved in systems that generate texts from non-linguistic data, known as data-to-text systems. In the last decade, work in fuzzy…
ManagementText GenerationOn the annotation of vague expressions: a case study on Romanian historical texts
Current approaches in Digital .Humanities tend to ignore a central as-pect of any hermeneutic introspection: the intrinsic vagueness of analyzed texts. Especially when dealing with his-torical documents neglecting vague-…
Fuzzy Logic in Narrow Sense with Hedges
Classical logic has a serious limitation in that it cannot cope with the issues of vagueness and uncertainty into which fall most modes of human reasoning. In order to provide a foundation for human knowledge representat…
Breaking the Chains of Probability: Neutrosophic Logic as a New Framework for Epistemic Uncertainty in Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) are predominantly governed by probabilistic frameworks in which the sum of outcome probabilities is constrained to unity. This architectural limitation, often imposed by Softmax layers, leads…
Survey of Various Fuzzy and Uncertain Decision-Making Methods
Decision-making in real applications is often affected by vagueness, incomplete information, heterogeneous data, and conflicting expert opinions. This survey reviews uncertainty-aware multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM…
